Purpose: A simple, one-pot strategy was used to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets by utilizing an easily available over-the-counter medicinal and edible mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum . Methods: The mushroom boiled in hot water liberate the polysaccharides, extract of which then directly for reduction oxide. abundance polysaccharides present serves as a good reducing agent. proposed evades use harmful expensive chemicals avoids typical tedious reaction methods. Results: More...
Abstract Metastasis of lung carcinoma to breast and vice versa accounts for one the vast majority cancer deaths. Synergistic treatments are proven be effective method inhibit malignant cell proliferation. It is highly advantageous use minimum amount a potent toxic drug, such as paclitaxel (Ptx) in ng/ml together with natural safe anticancer curcumin (Cur) reduce systemic toxicity. However, both Cur Ptx suffer from poor bioavailability. Herein, drug delivery cargo was engineered by...

This study presents comprehensive abundance richness waterbirds observed three prominent wetlands situated Dutse, city located...
Background: Breast cancer remains a serious life-threatening disease to women worldwide, contributing high rate of mortality among women. A critical molecular event implicated in breast progression is the dysregulation tumour suppressor gene p53, which plays key role DNA repair and regulation cell cycle proliferation cells. Mitracarpus hirtus, traditionally used treat various ailments, presents largely untapped resource agents with promising anti-cancer potential. This study examined...
Background: Medicinal plants are widely used for the management of many diseases including HIV / AIDS opportunistic infections in Katsina State, North-western part Nigeria.

Sickle cell anaemia is a hereditary disease branded by an upsurge in generation of ROS, irregular iron release and little or no antioxidant activity which can lead to cellular injuries due oxidative stress resulting severe symptoms including pain. The caused mutated version the gene that helps make haemoglobin, protein carries oxygen red blood cells. We used silico vitro experiments examine antisickling effects rutin for first time means before after induction approaches sickle erythrocytes....
Tocotrienols have been reported to possess anticancer effects other than anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. This study explored the potential synergism of antiproliferative induced by individual alkaloid extracts Ficus fistulosa, hispida schwarzii combined with δ- γ-tocotrienols against human brain glioblastoma (U87MG), lung adenocarcinoma (A549) colorectal (HT-29) cells. Cell viability morphological results demonstrated that containing a mixture alkaloids from leaves bark F....
